No problem. The watch is half the joy, the journey to search is the other half. Your 16753 is very nice too and rare. Saw it on a friend's wrist before and it gives a very different feel. Bling yet not bling kind of mystery.

mine is the 16713...but one of the earliest version with the t-25 dial...i like watches that are unpopular...lol....not really into the 'in-watch of the moment kind' of guy...

Sorry. I blur liao. The 16753 is the TT. Ya nice. Me also not interested in all the modern ones. Does the Rootbeer comes with matt dial version? Dont really like the nipple version.

[feilong108]

Mine is gloss dial....and non-nipple de...the last version for the rootbeer dial abeit the 'latest' edition....but it is about 18yrs old...hahahaha...so far i have not seen another one in the wild other than the one on my buddy OC....

Best of all, no one actually know it is a Rolex....even at local ADs...hahahaha....

One amatuer picture for you...hehehe

Nice watch. Strange cos I always thought this TT Rootbeer is 16753. Blur. The bezel is really nice. If only they have this with matt dial, then super attractive to me. Yellow gold rims and hands suit the look well.

Call me bro better cos I am not a boss. Ha. If you really like a 1655, someday can get it one lah. Collection is about what you like, not price. I love my 1675 more than AP.

All these adds to the joy of collecting. Like life partner, it takes a bit of fate and destiny to find the right one.

That's a nice piece too. For year 2011, my target is a dress watch in platinum or RG. Also, see fate cos if a nice vintage appears, then may be distracted again. For sure, 2011 will see less buy/sell than 2010. Ha

This week I am rotating my watches to give them some run time so might as well just take the chance to take pics...

Today, this guy's turn.
